Fortunately I am using an app to check on the data usage. All of a sudden, without any invitation from me, my BB Torch 9810 (OS 7.1 Bundle 1149) started sending out GigaBytes of data. First day 750MB, next day 1.2GB, next day 700MB. I did not even know the BB had that much data in it.

The data also goes when I am not on WiFi but on 3G roaming abroad (yeah!!)

Anyone has an explanation what this is?

I used a Task Manager app to see what processes are running and there is one called nabsync, which I dont know and not sure that I want it. It cannot be deleted though and does not appear in the app list.

Yes, I checked the BB Protect, but this is set to only do so on WiFi and when it does, it prompts. I am sure it is not, plus it would not upload (by now) 5GB in five days. Unbelievable. This phone does not even have that much data in it. I dont know what it is sending all the time. The nabsync is the only process which is running which I have no control of and where I dont know exactly what it is doing. I really want to get rid of nabsync, and I would like to give the RIM people a piece of my mind about putting something in the system that activates without consent, and sending GBs of data.

No, I am not using Social Network apps on my BB. It is also not incoming traffic. It is only outgoing. This is what is so amazing about it. Just outgoing 5GB in five days. The point is that I also would like to know who is getting all this data, and what data is he getting? This is alarming, aside from the cost factor.

From doing a Google search nabsync is used by your carrier to do carrier backups.

The only way to remove it is by removing the cod files as mentioned above.
